Equal Opportunity Program (EOP) is an academic program allowing students who are first generation low income students to enroll in university. Marquette University is a founding institution that has kept a tradition alive for 45 years. The opportunity resonates in a city like Milwaukee because of the racial segregation. Milwaukee has been noted as the number one most racially segregated city in the nation. This puts the EOP program as an awe-inspiring opportunity on a local level. Herbert Lowe is a Professor at the William and Mary Diederich College of Communications and also the director of journalism for social change. He is also an alumni of the EOP program and a testament to the success of the programs graduates. I am fortunate to be a student of Professor Lowe. The EOP program was something foreign to many students, except one who is a current EOP student and more reason to believe in its benefits to Marquette as an institution and its greater community. Monday, October 19 Lowe announced our final class project would be to turn the EOP program into a multi-digital platform similar to the works of CNN’s The Undecided. Today’s assignment was to generate ideas for what our final project will be. Ideas thus far have been incorporating people, objects from college days to reflect The Undecided. I think a unique way to differentiate our program from the rest is in the people we pick. By putting the people involved in three categories will help make our project set itself away from the rest. This will allow for people to scroll vertically about the past of the program, the present state and the future of where EOP will go. I think by keeping it local to Milwaukee will allow our class to not only address the importance of EOP, but expose the issue of racial segregation and its impact on our community. 1)Past : Will include any prominent figures who have affected the program including activists and faculty members and people who have benefited from EOP. 2)Present : People interviewed from the present will be people currently in roles who help EOP students and current students in the program. 3)Future: This is a crucial aspect to the EOP program and will include activists, donors, High School students in the pre-college program looking to attend a University. I cannot wait to start this project. Stay tuned for more to come.
